Edward Carter Kersey Gonner
The Social Philosophy of Rodbertus is a book written by Edward Carter Kersey Gonner in 1899. The book is a detailed analysis of the social philosophy of Johann Karl Rodbertus, a German economist and socialist thinker who lived in the 19th century. In the book, Gonner examines Rodbertus’ views on the role of the state in society, the relationship between labor and capital, and the distribution of wealth. The book begins with an introduction to Rodbertus’ life and work, followed by a discussion of his theory of economic rent. Gonner then explores Rodbertus’ views on the nature of society and the role of the state in promoting social justice. He also examines Rodbertus’ ideas on the relationship between labor and capital, arguing that Rodbertus believed that the exploitation of labor by capital was the root cause of social inequality. The book also includes a detailed analysis of Rodbertus’ proposals for social reform, including his ideas on land reform, the nationalization of industry, and the establishment of a national system of social insurance. Gonner concludes by assessing the relevance of Rodbertus’ ideas for contemporary debates on social justice and economic inequality.Overall, The Social Philosophy of Rodbertus is a comprehensive and insightful analysis of the ideas of a major figure in the history of socialist thought. It will be of interest to scholars and students of economics, political philosophy, and social theory, as well as anyone interested in the history of socialist thought and its relevance for contemporary debates on social justice.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
